Usage

addFeatMetadata(
  gobject,
  feat_type = NULL,
  spat_unit = NULL,
  new_metadata,
  by_column = F,
  column_feat_ID = NULL,
  vector_name = NULL
)

Arguments

`gobject`	giotto object
`feat_type`	feature type
`spat_unit`	spatial unit
`new_metadata`	new metadata to use)
`by_column`	merge metadata based on feat_ID column in `fDataDT`
`column_feat_ID`	column name of new metadata to use if by_column = TRUE
`vector_name`	(optional) custom name if you provide a single vector

Details

You can add additional feature metadata in two manners:
1. Provide a data.table or data.frame with feature annotations in the same order as the feat_ID column in fDataDT(gobject)
2. Provide a data.table or data.frame with feature annotations and specify which column contains the feature IDs, these feature IDs need to match with the feat_ID column in fDataDT(gobject)
